Ok, I'm new to collecting and not sure how much is too much. A local vintage games store is selling a bunch of consoles. I wanted to list what's included and the prices and see if it's too much or what.
All Systems are included with all hook-ups, 1 controller, and a 30-day guarantee.
Super Nintendo - $65 (Seems high)
Playstation - $22
N64 - $23
Turbo Grafx 16 (Console w/o CD) - $65
Dreamcast - $40
Nintendo - $50
Gamecube - $55
I think some of the older systems have been refurb (as in new pins, etc.).
Any input appreciated. Thanks.

I found another place today where they were selling a Dreamcast for 29.99 and a Playstation for 19.99. However, I think they are selling them as is without a controller and hook-ups.
Yeah, the SNES seems ridiculously high to me.
Thanks.

SNES, NES and Dreamcast are way too expensive. They better come with an autograph from a famous developer. :wink: jk
The other prices seem ok, but none are THE great deal.

First and formost. Are those prices in CDN or USD? If CDN I would say the prices seem high but thats the prices around here...Which is pretty high I guess. If its USD Don't bother and shop around shopping is fun! Make the best of it!

OK, I was looking through Amazon for games today and found Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, a game for PS2 I've been wanting forever, and the price was...
"Used and new from $79.00" (US) :shock:
Is this game that rare, or is this an inflated price?

$79 is pretty damn steap for a game. i suggest looking around ebay/amazon. try block buster or something like that, sometimes they have sales with cheap games. maybe a used cd shop would have a copy.
